    Last quarter of the year coming up... three months left to secure some big fights... of which I think only #3 is realistic/likely.

    1) Loma v Haney (hoping TR and ESPN can get Kambozo to invent an injury to avoid a ratings bomb and make a real fight)
    2) Crawford v. Spence (I put this as #2 because I view this as even less likely that scenario #1. Spence just doent want it and never has)
    3) Teofimo Lopez vs. Ryan Garcia (young electric bombers. Twink Davis isn't fighting either of them or Loma or Haney)

    not enough time left for Beterbiev-Bivol, Fury-Usyk, Wood-Conlan 2

    so realistically:

    Crawford vs Spence
    Sunny Edwards vs Martinez
    Stanionis vs Thurman
    Wood vs Lara
    Davis vs Garcia

    Spence side of the negotiations are done. They are just waiting for Crawford to sign. Did Spence not call Crawford out after breaking Ugas's face?

    Surprised nobody has AJ v Wilder. Still one hell of a fight to be made.
